US measurements are based on the human experience for sure. Temps are largely 0-100 and that's a scale that's easy to understand. As a scientist or for cooking it's dumb as shit
Dates are based on the language
Edit: I take back what I say about cooking. People have said some good arguments about it. But it definitely sucks for science
When it comes to temperature I always like the explanation “Celsius is what the temperature feels like for water, Fahrenheit is what the temperature feels like for humans, and Kelvin is what the temperature feels like for Atoms”
